GET READY

I love all the Christmas decorations.  I hate to take them down, but I know the day is approaching when all of the glitter, color and shine will have to be packed away in the appropriate tubs for next year.  Every piece has its place so that it will be protected for the next 350 or so days.  The 2014 holiday season is quickly coming to a close and the hopeful new year of 2015 is immediately approaching.

With this being said it is time to pack away all of the disappointments and shortcomings of 2014.  Anything that has brought you challenges should be packed away in the plastic tub and the lid should be placed on tightly closed not just for the next holiday season but forever. Your future holiday seasons are much brighter than the ones in the past.  New brilliant decorations of life are waiting for you in the next year. 

The Lord is already venturing into our next seasons of 2015 making a way for us that is full of courage, confidence and peace.  If 2014 has left you discouraged close the lid and snap it shut.  Your Red Sea is parting and you are getting ready to walk into the best moments of your life.
